True, I have no way of knowing whether this was done by a neighborhood resident.

I used to leave on Bedford between DeKalb and Willoughby and I remember that Beautiful garden when ever I would take my long strolls from Fulton. It is a shame that there are low class people in the neighborhood that would do something like this! I live in Bed-Stuy and I love it here but to be honest, there are elements (people) in the neighborhood that make me weary. They are just people who want to destroy what is good and beautiful for the neighborhood and lets face it who ever did wanted to get cash for it. shame!!!

I’m sorry to hear about your garden, but I’m sure that the Clifton Place garden will continue and thrive. Although I didn’t mention this in the post, Melvin told me that the goldfish had been living in that garden pond for three full years without any problems. This was to be their fourth year in the garden.

Xris, I hope that they find the people/kids that did this, but I’m not sure whether a police report was filed or not.

I am trying to fix up a garden and the neighborhood kids keep urinating on the plants and they don’t seem to grow.

It’s a shame we can’t have nice plants and gardens, but hope this one survives, it’s pretty.

How lovely…. what a beautiful garden… a true labor of love.
Glad to hear that the community garden folks aren’t letting the recent vandalism of their Koi pond get them down.

Thanks for sharing the pix!

This is horrible! I certainly hope that those who stole the fish know how to take care of them, at least. Koi are very expensive so maybe that’s why the pond was a target.

That stinks! I just wrote it up on my blog. I hope the gardeners report this as a crime. And I hope someone comes forward with information that leads to the return and restoration of what was lost. let me know if I can help.
